A Tale of Trust, AI and Humanity
With the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence and human being being crossed, Atlas takes the viewer on a breathtaking ride of self-discovery and sharp action. Atlas, which also stars Jennifer Lopez alongside Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, is an epic sci-fi which dives deep into the intersections of humanity and technology, trust and fear, morality and ethics in an era subsumed by technology.
The Plot: A Collage of the Past and Future
Ansaldo, an AI robot gone rogue and on a mission to destroy mankind is hunted down by Atlas Shepherd (portrayed by Jennifer Lopez ) who has a complicated relationship with AI and is a historian and data analyst. Shrinking with fears and working through her deathly memories of the past, Atlas realizes that getting rid of Harlan might just be something she’ll have to do, but now she’s on a self-serving mission that may destroy mankind. Unlike deep-seated Colonel Banks (played by Brown) and General Jake Boothe (portrayed by Mark Strong), terror-breathing saviors of humanity, Atlas welcomes the new age and Harlan challenges her to embrace the unknown.
Atlas is a dazzling film unlike any other that combines Brad Peyton’s visionary storytelling with jaw dropping cinematography bringing to life the world of high tech dystopia, featuring Jennifer Lopez as the protagonist Atlas Shepherd. Johnson showcases a multidimensional character influenced by emotional struggles as well as societal constructs. Although critics argued that the film overstayed its welcome with additional themes and issues like balancing action with plot, Lopez’s portrayal alongside the $100 million budget did not go to waste, claiming record shattering views of 71 countries in just a day.
Lopez’s performance was passive at best, earning her and her directors a 19% of some platforms. The abysmal nature of the film continues when looking at the speculation of the Action-Centric narrative, with the score suggesting divided acceptence of the concept.
Atlas pushes the boundaries while exploring themes of Trust and Fear that beg the question of how far humans can rely on technology, or the cynical ethical dilemmas stemming from the waisting action centric world.
Atlas Shepherd’s sluggish predicament brought to light the unfathomable scope of human’s ability to forgive as well as to adapt, weaving an intricate story that remains with you heavily after the movie ends. The movie is over perceived to be, through and through a Netflix masterpiece.
Although Atlas was not well received by the critics, it managed to break aforenoted records as the most watched premiere in the history of Netflix. It wowed audiences from every corner of the globe with its unique action set pieces and thought provoking themes, signaling to the world of actions and sci-fi that it is a movie worth watching.
Its portrayal of a futuristic woman experiencing profound moral dilemmas is something that resonates well with the world today, which depicts profound empowerment and charm. My personal inclination towards ethics means that arguments surrounding ethical technology and artificial intelligence are extremely fascinating, and Atlas acts as a visual piece to these debates.
Final Verdict: Worth a Watch
In what some may argue is a mild response from critics, the truth remains that Atlas offers an entertaining action packed movie that is vivid in nature with Jennifer’s astounding acting and eye catching visuals. This technology driven film set in the future puts the viewer on a rollercoaster of emotions and ideas, and as a fan of moral complexities, I would wholeheartedly recommend this movie.
